If you want to race fixed gear cross, make sure you are comfortable with all sorts of flying dismounts and lots of off camber skidding stuff. Prepare to be utterly uncompetitive, but a crowd favorite.from tariq at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/singlecross.html
from bloodline, i'm prepared to be 'utterly uncompetitive', but i know that in my realm fixed gear is training not racing. i like fixed gear for winter riding and with a front brake it works downtown.
why would i want race conditions that feel like i'm getting kicked in the shins at every dismount?(imagine a 4yr old in combat boots)
